Special abilities

Flaaffy's wool is similar to Mareep's in that it stores electricity. However, Flaaffy's wool is much more efficient, so that it can store more electricity than Mareep despite having less wool on its body. They also have rubbery skin to prevent themselves from being electrocuted. Unlike Mareep, Flaaffy are able to stand on their hind legs and are able to use their forelimbs to manipulate things or deliver blows.

Name origin

Flaaffy may be a combination of fluffy and baa (sound a sheep makes). It may also incorporate laugh, considering its playful nature. Aa may also be a reference to a double-A battery, given Flaaffy's typing. Alternately, it my be a combination of fluffy and taffy (an informal nickname for Welsh people, who are often stereotypically associated with sheep).

Mokoko may derive from 羊毛 yōmō (wool) and a corruption of もこもこ mokomoko (fluffy).
